Open folder in other pane with fix path-part + current path?

[haibinpro]

Sugguest TC have map function to jump to certain folder. (Subject line modified by Mod)


That is,
as an example,currently I am in dir "c:\Program Files\EverEdit 4.0\mode"
As I have been copy tree to some other dir,or use some software like sandbox.
So,I need to goto certain dir related to it,somewhat like "c:\Sandbox\Administrator\DefaultBox\drive\C\Program Files\EverEdit 4.0\mode"
and it can do so.
currently,I may use AHK or some copyenhance tools to do so.
but maybe it's a funny function to add to TC

best regards

You mean:

if I open folder A in one panel, the other panel should automatically open folder X?

And if I go to folder B, the other panel shows magically folder Z?



 

[haibinpro]

no exactaly.
the point is map,
I mean when I need, I can click some hotkey to jump to the relate dir.
the dir open in other panel is better.

[Stefan2]

I still don't get it.

Do you need to switch to related, dynamically from current folder build paths?

If in "c:\Program Files\EverEdit 4.0\mode"
switch to "c:\Sandbox\Administrator\DefaultBox\drive\c\Program Files\EverEdit 4.0\mode"


If in "c:\Work\ABC"
switch to "c:\Sandbox\Administrator\DefaultBox\drive\c\Work\ABC"



 

[haibinpro]

yes,You are right.
dynamically from current folder build paths
the prex may change too,
if I choose prex "c:\Sandbox\Administrator\DefaultBox\drive\",it will dynamically replace to the prex I choosed.
The prex can be change is better.

There is no generic way to know how many levels you need to skip and which folder should become new root, so you can only use external ways like mentioned AHK scripts.

And such script should get three parameters: source root (e.g. C:\ in your example), target root (e.g. c:\Sandbox\Administrator\DefaultBox\drive\C) and source path (e.g. c:\Program Files\EverEdit 4.0\mode), only with these three values we can get the fourth one, target path.

So you will need multiple buttons/commands for different pairs of roots.

[Stefan2]

I think that could be done by utilizing a script like that over there:

Here adopted / modified for your purpose:


... switch to related, dynamically from current folder build paths:

If in "c:\Program Files\EverEdit 4.0\mode"
switch to "c:\Sandbox\Administrator\DefaultBox\drive\c\Program Files\EverEdit 4.0\mode" in other panel.

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF

Thanks,It is examctaly what I need.
I edit the batch files

change

'''

ECHO "%Commander_Exe%" /O /S /R="%TARGET%"
'''
to

'''
ECHO GO: Open new path in other (target) panel:
"%Commander_Exe%" /O /S /R="%TARGET%"
'''

and it works.
Thanks very much.you are so kind.
